Hi,

The desired functionality can be achieved like this:

<telerik:RadGrid
    ID="RadGrid3"
    runat="server"
    AllowSorting="true"
    OnSortCommand="RadGrid3_SortCommand">
    <MasterTableView AllowCustomSorting="true">
        <SortExpressions>
            <telerik:GridSortExpression FieldName="..." SortOrder="Ascending" />
        </SortExpressions>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

In this case RadGrid will not sort the data and the indicator will appear. The only thing to do more is to set AllowCustomSorting="False" on sort command, so that RadGrid starts sorting afterwards, when the user clicks on the header:

protected void RadGrid3_SortCommand(object sender, GridSortCommandEventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid3.MasterTableView.AllowCustomSorting = false;
}
